Parents are encouraged to keep youngsters to the big splash pool (pictured) for the time being; it was cleaned and the water refreshed on Thursday, 18th July 2019, so is safe to use. However, a slippery black algae deposit has been found in the smaller, upper splash pool and the channel between the two pools. Volunteers will pressure wash and deep clean the small pool and channel next week – but in the meantime, there is a risk of slipping for any children standing on the black deposit. Further updates on the algae clean-up will be shared here.
The splash pool area at Clevedon Marine Lake is very popular with young children, especially when the weather’s warm. In February, over £4,000 was spent improving the drain works for the splash pools, to make sluicing and maintenance a lot easier for volunteers.
There’s always lots to do at the lake in terms of litter picking, cleaning, muscle work and site management, so if you can spare any time to help out, please contact volunteer@marlens.org.uk
